Pakistan had been peddling all kinds of lies regarding their failed attempt to infiltrate the Indian airspace on Wednesday. Three Pakistani aircrafts tried to enter the Indian territory, but they were given a befitting reply by the Indian Air Force which immediately confronted them with their own MiG 21 jets. 

The Indian jets not only stopped the Pakistani jets from making any kind of progress, but also shot down one of Pakistan's F-16 jet and forced the other two back. Unfortunately during this confrontation, one MiG 21 was lost.

Having failed in their attempts to enter the Indian airspace, Pakistan tried to spread a number of false narratives. One of those was that none of their fighter jet plane was shot, contrary to what the Indian government had said on Wednesday, and that images of wreckage which landed in PoK was that of MiG 21.

But Republic TV has found out concrete evidence which demolishes the second narrative of Pakistan.

The image of the engines of F-16 and MiG 21 has been accessed, and when it is compared to the on-ground photo, the lie is detected. The wreckage visuals match up to the one of F-16, which thus proves that Pakistan tried to mislead and spread a fake narrative.

Another lie which Pakistan openly advocated was that none of its aircraft was attacked by India. But this very lie was exposed by Republic TV on Wednesday itself.

Republic TV accessed a video that captured in 10 seconds the befitting response Pakistan received in exchange for its ill-advised attempt to intrude into India's airspace and attack Indian military installations - namely its F-16 being decimated by India's MIG 21 Bison.

Efforts by Pakistan to infiltrate the Indian territory comes a day after Indian Air Force had avenged the Pulwama terror attack by annihilating terror training camps in Pakistan and PoK. Using 16 Mirage 2000 jets, the forces went inside the Pakistan territory and destroyed terror bases using laser-guided bombs, neutralizing 245 foot soldiers and terrorists who were under going training in these respective camps
